Re: [xsl] setting and returning variable values from the source file using javascript

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't see any numeric operations in your posted code that could lead
to NaN (but there must be other code around that you havent shown, eg
the defn of posCount) 

However do you _really_ need to use javascript here?

Given that XSL gives no assurances as to the evaluation order that is
used when evaluating a for-each loop, embedding constructs from an imperative
language inside the loop is always going to be risky. As the interface
to javscript is processor specific you only have one processor to worry
about and it may hapen to work there, but it its always going to be by
luck rather than specification.
